• They will draw blood to test for Hepatitis B, C and HIV.
• Once cleared, all tissues that will be used for medical education or disease research are removed, wrapped, tagged, inventoried and stored for further use. • Tissues not used for donation will be sent to cremation and the ashes will be sent to the next of kin. • Whatever is used will be disposed of after final use by cremation or incineration (as per state or country law). Those ashes will never be retuned to the next of kin.
